The North Carolina Tar Heels are set to take part in their second exhibition game of the preseason, facing off against Indiana in Indianapolis. It's been nearly 10 days since we saw Michael Malone's team on the court for the first time this preseason, beating USC in Greensboro.
This will be the second of three exhibition games ahead of the November 2nd opener, and it will give us another look at Malone's team. It also gives them the chance to hit the road for their first "trip" of the season.
Indiana will be a good test for the Tar Heels. The Hoosiers are projected to finish right in the middle of the Big Ten this season and could be a tournament team.
